BOOM Concepts (fiscally sponsored by Bloomfield Garfield Corporation) continues to lead the way in supporting AALANA (African American, Latino, Asian, native American) and queer artists that identify as social practitioners and creative entrepreneurs operating outside of the western canon. BOOM Concepts supports artists around building creative experiences that will help to advance their personal practice. We recruit artists to focus these actions and curate a 12 month calendar using Penn Avenue’s UNBLURRED Gallery Crawl (first Friday’s of every month) as an anchor. By coordinating field building opportunities for artists that include teaching, atelier, public art displays, exhibitions, residencies, and creative gig work – BOOM is able to orchestrate impactful and memorable projects that engage audiences in the community.
